I applied these changes to 2.4.0-test10-pre3 and I got these messages in
the system log:
Oct 15 11:24:05 mars kernel: __alloc_pages: 5-order allocation failed.
Oct 15 11:24:05 mars kernel: eth0: Memory squeeze, dropping packet.
Oct 15 11:24:05 mars kernel: __alloc_pages: 5-order allocation failed.
Oct 15 11:24:05 mars kernel: eth0: Memory squeeze, dropping packet.
Oct 15 11:24:05 mars kernel: __alloc_pages: 5-order allocation failed.
Oct 15 11:24:05 mars kernel: eth0: Memory squeeze, dropping packet.
And then a spontaneous reboot. :( Which is what I have been
seeing with this driver for a while.
